Alright so I found both of these shirts at my thrift store. For both I paid $8.

I started with the ties and cut them off the tank.

I seam ripped them and laid it flat across the sweatshirt.

I pinned on the strip of lace by first pinning the sides underneath to give it a clean edge. I then cut another two strips from the tank and pinned them on.

On the top I wanted to make it angle along the seam so I pinned accordingly. I also cut off the excess lace on the sides and folded the sides under so it had a clean edge.

And here you can see I pinned it right up to the edge of the seam.

(Since I am in the process of moving right now I cannot find my sim card for my camera where I had taken pictures for the last few parts.....sorry....) I sewed all the way around the lace. Also, make sure you get the exact thread or you'll see a difference between the thread and lace/fabric.

Surprise! I gave my sister the sweatshirt as a brithday present. I'm in Florida and even though I love a sweatshirt I don't wear them often. My sister, Kate, is in the Pacific Northwest so she will use it more than me!

I Love the top and she said she wears it all the time!

And the little bow in back that "ties" it all together! I just snipped a small hole in the back and threaded a ribbon all the way through. I handstitched around the hole so there wouldn't be any fraying! Presto a cute little bow!
